    Really? This may well mean prices on oil will go up even more. However I'm starting to like Chavez more and more. He has some balls!

    That's why we shouldn't rely on foreign oil. :/

    Chavez can keep his oil. I'll walk to work or take the bus.

    Exxon Mobil was cut off from Venezuela's oil, I'm not sure about the whole nation.

    Yeap I read about that. Venezuela can claim Acts of State when it comes to nationalization. But the fact that it engages in commercial activities means it can be liable to claims of damages. I don't see why it should cut off Exxon Mobil when it is perfectly a legal case.

    I guess they will say that Bin Laden now is found in Venezuela and we need to bomb them to the Middle Age.

    Yes I just read it on BBC

    but he can`t continue like that

    I think all of his action is just for populism, and he is not a good politicion

    if he don`t sell oil to our country, his economics will fall down :)
